Ad analytics & BI

Ad analytics and BI for teams that report to clients.

Reporting is where data work becomes visible, and where it is judged. We build the analytics layer on top of your warehouse: metrics defined once, dashboards that load, and reporting that assembles itself instead of consuming an analyst's week.

  • Automated reporting
  • Governed metrics
  • Client-ready dashboards

What you get

Reporting that assembles itself.

Metrics defined once

ROAS, CAC and contribution, reused everywhere.

Reports on a schedule

Cross-platform reporting with no manual step.

Each client sees its own data

Row-level access on client-facing dashboards.

Overspend caught in flight

Pacing and anomaly alerts, not hindsight.

The problem

When reporting is the product, manual does not scale.

For an agency, reporting is not an internal convenience. It is a deliverable the client sees every month, and often the main evidence that the retainer is working. Yet it is usually assembled by hand: exports from six platforms, a spreadsheet with formulas nobody dares touch, and a slide deck built the night before. It scales linearly with headcount, breaks when one person is out, and every disagreement about a number costs a meeting.

What the analytics layer covers

What's included.

  • A governed metric layer where ROAS, CAC and contribution are defined once and reused everywhere
  • Cross-platform reporting that assembles and delivers on a schedule with no manual step
  • Client-facing dashboards with row-level access, so each account sees only its own data
  • Attribution and incrementality measurement appropriate to your data, not a default model
  • Pacing and anomaly alerting, so overspend is caught in flight rather than in hindsight
  • Enablement, so your analysts extend the models themselves

How we work

How we run it.

  1. Step 1

    Agree the metric definitions with the people who defend the numbers to clients

  2. Step 2

    Model those metrics in dbt with tests, so every surface reads from one place

  3. Step 3

    Rebuild the highest-effort recurring report first and measure the hours it returns

  4. Step 4

    Layer on dashboards, alerting and deeper measurement once the base is trusted

What we use

Tools, platforms and methods.

  • dbt
  • Snowflake
  • BigQuery
  • Looker Studio
  • Power BI
  • Metabase
  • Tableau

FAQ

Common questions.

Do we need a warehouse before this is worth doing?

For anything beyond a couple of platforms, yes. Dashboards wired directly to platform APIs cannot join across sources, cannot hold history once a platform ages data out, and re-query on every page load. The warehouse is what makes the reporting layer both fast and consistent.

Which BI tool should we use?

Usually the one your team already knows. Looker Studio is hard to beat on cost for client-facing marketing reporting. Power BI wins where the organization is already on Microsoft. The tool matters far less than whether the metrics underneath it are modeled and tested, which is where we focus.

How much analyst time does this actually give back?

The pattern we see most often is a multi-day monthly reporting cycle collapsing to a review-and-comment pass. The gain is not only hours: analysts spend them on interpretation instead of assembly, which is what clients are paying for.

Can clients log in and see their own dashboards?

Yes. We implement row-level security so each client sees only their accounts, and we can white-label the surface so it reads as your platform rather than ours.
